Problems solved by technology
The growing number of such signals is rapidly undermining the credibility of radar detector performance.
Radar detectors cannot tell the difference between emissions from many of these devices and true police radar systems.
As a result, radar detectors are increasingly generating false alarms, effectively “cry

Embodiment Construction
[0028]Referring now to FIG. 1, a radar signal detection and warning network uses wireless communication via cellular towers 10, each coupled to a customer (e.g., customer 1, customer 2, customer 3, customer 4) to enable communication between the customers of information relevant to each of them relating to police activity. Each customer uses a smartphone device 20, able to communicate data wirelessly and provide a display for presentation and collection of data. Suitable smartphones are so-called smart phones such as the various generation iPhone devices sold by Apple, devices running the Android operating system, and smart phones of other software platforms such as Blackberry, Windows mobile, and the like.
[0029]Preferably, the smartphone devices are able to capture location information for the device using radio signals received from GPS satellites 12. Based on this information, the wireless devices are able to obtain relevant information to their current location, and provide info...

Abstract
A radar detector accessory permits wireless connectivity to a smartphone to enhance or improve upon the existing radar detector, by providing enhanced display of the detector status and control of the detector, including storage of false alerts and locations of interest, storage and alerting to known hazards such as speed cameras and redlight cameras. Further, using the smartphone data connection, events of interest are reported to a central server, such as radar/laser detections, police activity sightings and mobile camera sightings, and remotely reported events of these types are delivered to the smartphone for delivery as alerts to the local driver.
